Hi, Melody!

Well, we've been a bit colder than usual in around here (the
Northeast) this year, so I would imagine there's extra ice.  But yes,
it is normal for the falls to generate plenty of ice.  Think of the
normal spray of the falls flying through the air and forming huge ice
stalagmites as it accumulates.  I saw it once a few winters back when
we stopped on the way home from Toronto.  I haven't seen a picture of
it this year, though, to compare it to.  It is beautiful, though.
